Show Your Pride

Open arms, generosity, inclusivity. Pride events are about all of these things, about finding your people and revelling in the joy of community. Hosting a bash for allies and chosen families is an essential part of the fun (and an excuse to wear your rainbow‑hued muumuu, just in case you need one). Get in on the act this year by throwing your own! With party-hopping in mind, there’s something here for everyone: small nibbles, more substantial fare to fuel your flame, something to cool you off, and something to quench your thirst. There’s no need for expensive kitchen gear, and you’ll find most everything you need at your nearest grocer and with just a few clicks by shopping here. Be sure to leave the front door open! There’s room enough among the stars for all us.
